Do what burrito said, but also some of you tube to track connections are weak. espically on the drop and pullout.


Yeah they are a tad weak i will fix them

Heres a layout idea:

What do you all think?


Its inserting but, I have to wait to get a train or get a set till I can test my layout.

Make that pullout and in bigger,allong with the overbank.
You may think you're out of space but your base is only 14x4 you can make it 20x5 and have plenty of room.

Yhanks for noticing my base was off! :) and I think ive made the pullout better.

That layout looks way too long for the height of this coaster, but people can surprise you...

very nice work! I'm not kidding. It is pretty hard to see someone on SSC make a tube looper with only one SS. Please put in a video so we can see if it shakes.

Well i was grounded so, I started to work on my coaster again, Its going good so far :) but I am unsure what i want after loop, rising helix(somewhat), then a heartline then some stuff i laid out my track plans/ideas in VV track so you can tell. :P

NOTE: I STILL dont have any ss cars to use so i have NO idea if it will even make it through the loop...

Scott if all you need is a nose piece for the front car I will give you one. I have converted a coupled of rear cars to middle cars and stole the rear wheel assemblies from front cars. So I have a couple of fronts that are not being used.

Let me know where you are and I'll check how much to send them, probably fit in a small padded envelop.

I like the first one.

I can't help you with the nose. I'm missing one and I'm planning on using two trains. Sorry.

Well I might get another ss or get one from ForgotToGrowUp.
Thanks any way. :)

I'm looking at your layout, and i know its not going to be exactly where the VV coaster is, but that helix is going to be tight, and small. Are you sure it's going to make it?, because that loop's looking small, so i don't know how much speed your going to get after that, and with the tight curve and the banking of the helix, it might not work.

The loop looks pretty good but the helix is a bit out of shape. You have defiantly have improved! Great job!

Loop still looks small, and if it's possible, evenly space out your crossties, it should make a difference.

That helix looks really, really small to me. can it even make it?
